About the Rockford Fosgate Prime R300X4
Rockford Fosgate power for your speakers
Rockford Fosgate power for your speakers
Rockford Fosgate performance in a small package. The Prime Series R300X4 4-channel amp can drive your speakers with 50 watts RMS each, so you'll really feel your tunes rockin'. Or, you could switch the R300X4 to 2-channel mode to run a couple of subs with 150 watts RMS each — when you buy a bigger amp for your subs later on, you can still use this 4-channel to drive all your speakers. Smart move.
You can use the high- and low-pass filters and Rockford Fosgate's famous Punch boost to get maximum performance from the speakers in your vehicle. And speaker-level inputs let you hook this amp up to almost any system, even a factory stereo.
Rugged performance and value
The R300X4's heavy cast-aluminum chassis efficiently draws damaging heat away from its internal components, ensuring reliable, long-term play. The amp's built-in sensors keep track of the output current and power supply temperature, ensuring that plunging speaker impedances (they change constantly during play) or even a short circuit won't hurt anything. Your driver's seat will become your favourite place for listening to music once this Prime amp goes to work.

Product Research
Features
Overview: The front and rear sections of the Rockford Fosgate Prime R300X4 4-channel amplifier are bridgeable, so it can be wired in 4-channel, 3-channel, or 2-channel mode.
CEA 2006 Compliant: The R300X4's power ratings and signal to noise ratio are measured according to the uniform standards advocated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). This allows you to accurately compare these specifications for all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to these standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. CEA2006 Specifications for this amplifier are:
- 4 Ohms: 50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N
- 2 Ohms: 75 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N
- Bridged: 150 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N
- S/N: 80 dB, measured at 1 watt output (100 dB measured at rated power)
LED Indicator: The amplifier is equipped with an LED power/protect indicator. The LED illuminates blue when the unit is turned on. It illuminates red if the thermal or short circuit protection circuit is engaged, and the amplifier will automatically turn off.
Mounting: The amplifier can be mounted vertically or horizontally using the supplied mounting screws. The amplifier should never be mounted in an engine compartment as this will void the warranty.
Controls
Gain Controls: The front and rear amplifier channels have independent gain controls. Each rotary control is labeled 1 to 11 and has a sensitivity range of 150mV to 4V when using the RCA inputs, 450mV to 12V when using the speaker level inputs.
Crossover: There are also independent 12 dB/octave crossovers for the front and rear channels. Crossover switches allow you to choose low-pass, high-pass, or full-range operation. The crossover points are continuously variable from 50 to 250 Hz.
Punch EQ: The Punch EQ bass boost circuits are individually selectable, 0 (flat), +6 dB, or +12 dB and centered at 45 Hz.
Input Switch:
- 2-CH: when using only the front inputs
- 4-CH: when using the front and rear inputs
Connections
Power Terminals: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated set screw terminals and will accommodate up to 4 gauge power and ground wires.
Fuse: An external 50-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire at the battery. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 50-amps, the original should be replaced with a 50-amp fuse.
Remote Terminal: The remote turn-on terminal is a nickel-plated set screw terminal that will accommodate up to an 8 AWG wire. It's used to remotely turn the amplifier on and off.
Speaker Terminals: The four pair of speaker outputs are nickel-plated set screw terminals what will accommodate up to 8 AWG speaker wire.
RCA Input Jacks: Front and rear RCA input jacks provide an easy connection for preamp level inputs. They are nickel-plated to resist signal degradation caused by corrosion.
Speaker Level Input: Two speaker level input harnesses are included, making it easier to add the amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs.

Great amp, very flexible with different setups, using it to drive 6x8 Polk coaxials front and rear and has more than enough power. Very happy with this amp, Install was very easy nice size gives you lots of choices.
